LESSON
Soil can be categorized into sand, clay, silt, peat, chalk and
loam types of soil based on the dominating size of the particles
within a soil.
Let us take a look at the pictures below. Observe each
picture. Describe it. What have you notice with the
characteristics of the soil?
The first picture is sandy soil. As you can see in the picture,
sandy soils contains high proportion of sand and little clay (clay
weighs more than sand). The other picture is clay, this type of
soil is heavy that benefits from high nutrients. Clay soils remain
wet and cold in winter and dry out in summer.
Take a look with the pictures below. Observe and tell how
each type of soil differ from each other.
As you can see in the pictures the given types of soil have
different characteristics. It is because silt soil is a light and
moisture retentive soil type with a high fertility rating.As silt soils
compromise of medium sized particles they are well drained and
hold moisture well.
While chalk soil is can be either light or heavy but always
highly alkaline due to the calcium carbonate or lime within its
structure.
Since these types of soil has their own characteristics
meaning they have their own ability to sustain the life of living
things. Some of these types of soil are good for planting while
others are not.
